SPOKANE -- Josh Oslund went 3-for-6 with a triple and three RBIs and Kyle Saueressig added a home run as Hanford defeated Mount Spokane 12-6 on Friday to reach the finals of the 3A Eastern Regional.

"It was a great team effort," Falcons coach Tom Dewitz said. "I'm very happy with the way we put the bat on the ball."

Hanford, which is a win away from qualifying for state, will face West Valley at 10 a.m. today.

The Rams drilled Rogers 22-5. The loser of that game will face the winner of Mount Spokane-Rogers for the second berth to state.
